Abstract (en)
[origin: US2007040368A1] Air bags for vehicles and processes for making the air bags are disclosed. In accordance with the present disclosure, the air bags include tethers that extend from one side of the air bag to the other side of the air bag and control the inflation characteristics of the bag. The tethers are integral with the air bag such that they are integrated into a woven pattern used to form the bag. The tethers can comprise yarn tethers or fabric tethers. In one embodiment, for instance, a one-piece air bag is disclosed that is formed from warp yarns and fill yarns that are not only used to construct the woven air bag but are also used to construct tethers incorporated into the bag.
